particular,
and even on the seasons and weather. If a group of school children are boisterous and aggressive, their Yin is tempered
with more studies in art, inserting Yang. If a wife is sullen and brooding, her Yang is tempered with more outings into
the vibrant city, more Yin. If the spring came early and the fields are unprepared for planting, this Yin is handled by
the farmers Yang, by meditation in the fields. Does all this help? It can't hurt, and in the main tends to focus humans
on the spiritual aspects of life.

ZetaTalk: Karma
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
Under duress, and having experienced a shattering blow of some kind, humans often ascribe the cause to karma. There
is bad karma and good karma and this explains everything, or so they hope. Could it be that life is so terribly
unpredictable? Why would a benign God throw them into such a situation, create such an erratic world? Yes and no,
there is karma. Karma is at play where the human causes the situation in some manner, by their prior actions
Karma. A man is greedy, always seeking to maximize the goods that he can call his own. Materialistic. In the main he
succeeds in becoming a man of means, and secretly gloats over his ability to charm or manipulate others so that he
succeeds. Then one day he finds himself a pauper, having been outdone by one with greater charm or manipulation
skills. Is this karma? It is indeed, as the man brought this down on himself by amassing goods and bragging about. He
essentially placed a sign where everyone could see, saying come steal from me. It would also be karma if a former
business partner, having been left bereft and financially devastated due to the actions of the greedy one, arranged for
the greedy one to have marital troubles. Where one's trouble can be traced directly to one's own actions in this
lifetime, that is karma.
dice, one of her conceptions has an extra chromosome, and is a mongoloid, retarded. Friends point out that she was not
a scrupulous housekeeper, or perhaps was torn between her career and family duties, and that her misfortune is karma
as now she must stay home and tend to the new youngster, who needs constant care. Another example is a car
accident, where one is driving down the highway and, rounding the curve, finds themselves head on with a drunken
driver. Did the victim cause this accident somehow? It was simply a matter of time and place, a throw of the dice.

ZetaTalk: Archetypes
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
Archetypes are common human experiences, in the form of humans whom others interact with or observe. These come,
in the examples below, from the child's knowledge of mother and father figures, and from memory of childhood,
whether from self or of a brother or sister or playmate. All have these archetypal concepts, from these common human
experiences. Verbal and written stories are rift with human archetypes. In the day and age of the video and computer
games, these media are also rift with archetypes.
Archetypes may be exaggerated in their characteristics to heighten their uniqueness. Thus, in the examples below, the
Mother, whose uniqueness is her desire to care for her charges, is described as caring less for her personal appearance.
The Father, whose uniqueness is his desire to protect and provide for his charges, is described similarly. The Hand
Maiden, whose uniqueness is the subservience that comes by nature to the weaker sex in a physically or socially
immature state, is exaggerated into downcast eyes and such compliant manners that her masters assume loyalty.
Mother: Even before archetypes of things to be feared, we have loving archetypes. The reason is simple. Most
humans, if they are to survive, are given such love by a mother or mother substitute. This archetype is seen most often
as a woman, frequently older, gray haired to some degree, a little overweight, paying attention to the charges given her
rather than to herself. She deals with food stuffs, is frequently in the kitchen or around the campfire, and is never at a loss for a tasty item of food to give to a youngster.
Father: Likewise, the infant, if it has survived, has encountered in person the archetypal father. This archetype is burly, strong if not smart, and very protective. He may be gruff, frequently is at a loss for words, and like the
archetypal mother, cares more for the charges given him than for himself, and most certainly for his physical
appearance. He needs a shave, or in the olden days, needed to get his beard trimmed. He is a bit unwashed. His shoes
